53 yr old female w heart disease (open heart surgery and stents)

My jaw started bothering me a few weeks ago.The pain comes and goes but usually have it a few minutes every day. I was putting Orjel on my teeth assuming it was a tooth ache. But I saw the the dentist and he said there are no problems.

I had a stress test- came back normal. Then I found I was very anemic and needed a blood transfusion. When I am anemic my heart goes nuts throwing thousands of PVCs. I think this caused the jaw pain.

I had the transfusion yesterday, if the jaw pain stops I'll assume it was my heart.

Anyone have jaw pain without chest pain?
